Rocky Mountain Sheep grazing near Sheep Lakes in
June.

On a regular basis, but with no set schedule, the sheep will come
down from the high country, cross the road and graze for up to an hour or more
before returning to the high mountains. Rangers and Park Volunteers will stop
traffic to allow the animals to cross. In these sink holes, they seek mineral
salts needed to sustain life, grow coats, horns and produce milk for the young.
